The bedroom is a common problem area. Do you have more clothes than you have closet space? Shoes everywhere—even under the bed? If your room isn’t neat and organized, you can’t expect the rest of your house to be, so it’s best to start here and handle things before the mess starts creeping into your kitchen and living space.
If you’re ready to get started, these are the 20 best products for stepping up your organization game in your bedroom. As always, the prices listed may fluctuate over time as products go on sale.
20 Best Bedroom Organization Products
Elfa 5-Foot Classic White Reach-In Closet
The best thing you can do to keep your closet in check is to invest in a closet-organization system. The brand Elfa can be found at the Container Store and is one of their most popular systems, too. Systems can range price-wise, but you can find the Elfa 5-Foot Classic White Reach-In Closet for less than $1,000. If you’re working with a small closet (that’s not a walk-in), this system’s ventilated shelves, 2-foot mesh drawers, 2-foot mesh gliding shoe shelf and mounted horizontal top track are all you need to most effectively store your essentials. (Pro tip: We also recommend arranging your clothes by color, but that’s just us!)

Pandalike Bamboo Drawer Dividers
Though using drawer dividers is crucial to keeping items in their designated zones (at least inside the drawer), you’ll find that most dividers are made from acrylic—aka plastic. If you prefer to be a bit more eco-friendly, we recommend the Pandalike Bamboo Drawer Dividers made from premium organic Moso bamboo wood. This three-piece expandable set works just as well as the plastic stuff to sort your items and keep them in place.
The Neat Method Oxford Bins
Bins are every amateur organizer’s best friend, and when it comes to style, you can’t do much better than the Neat Method Oxford Bins. These classic bins are crafted from stone-colored polyester and jute fabric with a metal frame. The smallest bin, or “cube,” runs 12 inches by 12 inches by 10 inches and can fit up to five medium-size stuffed animals or up to four dress-up outfits.

Threshold 13-Inch 4-Cube Organizer Shelf
Target may not brand itself as a hub for organization-related products, but it’s an excellent spot for snagging the good stuff (for cheap!). The Threshold 13-Inch 4-Cube Organizer Shelf perfectly fits most standard-size bins. You can fill the bins with just about anything—toys in a kids’ room, clothes in your own room, shoes, etc.—then display the bin in plain sight with an organized, put-together aesthetic.

Natural Cotton Hanging Storage Bag

Whitmor Wood Stackable 2-Shelf Shoe Rack

40-Bottle Acrylic Nail Polish Riser
Another cosmetic that gets thrown at the bottom of a bag or bin is nail polish. But the 40-Bottle Acrylic Nail Polish Riser keeps all polishes out in the open so that you can access the color you need when you need it, simply because you can see it. And yes— you guessed it—we recommend color coordinating your nail polish, too.
